jokes apart the time of meet has to be decided and hence I would request members to come to a unanimous decision...

I'm counting on bobby(sabre) to give me a lift, so i'm comin if he's goin.
Guys, please ensure he doesn't ditch like last time .

And I dont mind a sunday; if it is sunday morning joy , then what better way to celebrate that joy, than with buddies out here ! So, lets make it in the morning. that way we wont be pushed on a time constraint with the dwindling daylight we'll face in the evening .

If we are meetin at 11am, it might be a good idea if we plan to go for lunch together (and go dutch on the bill); u know, to fuel the adda.

otherwise 11am might be too early for some of us, and by the time all of us appear, it would be time for lunch and time to leave.

or if a group lunch is out of the question, we can meet later in the afternoon after lunch hours. Probably around 3-4pm and that will give us a good amount of unhurried time.

Cummon peeps....make this meet a grand success , n Arya, i'll allow you to come along only if u promise not to spill the beans about the Mac shop thing

I am warning you in advance, guys. I haven't seen the (sexy) new iMacs in person yet and I'm going to get a good look at them tomorrow so please be warned that there will be some ApplePorn for you guys to contend with!

^^First things first...is the meet on or off? whats the final headcount that we have?

Okay not many people seem to be interested to turn up tomorrow and I've recieved pm s from some members stating that they might have some pre-occupation tomorrow and hence I think I would like this meet to be delayed/postponed untill most members and deciding up on a future date...

4 is fine for me and S!D a.k.a Vicky

EDIT: Do we wanna meet up in front of the Linc Shop in the Ground floor or do we wanna meet up in front of the apple store...

The Linc shop. I'll lead you guys to the Apple Store, you see.

and I thought Arya is sleeping yaar, Arya I tried but apka Phone nahi mila... thought may u are in sleep so 3.30 is the time I suppose

@Choto Cheeta
Yes, 03:30 it is. I am using EDGE on my phone so, unfortunately, you cannot get through.

3:30pm in front of Linc store of City Center Salt lake it is....

@Arya

Can we expect that you would bring the MAC Book Pro... ??

just for reference posting this very old post by Gaurav which has his and my pic in it...just so that others can recognise us...
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=463835&postcount=157

In the pic I'm the one on the left hand side and Gaurav is the guy on the right hand side...

is this really a use of bad language.. or again you guys would curse me for posting between your chit-chat.. the thread is reported for the use of foul language.. so better watch it guys...

Count me in...3:30 PM City Center

arre bhai just a word caution ... i hope we wont see a repeat of adnan and thinkdigit flashing all across aaj tak ... this time im serious ...

^^no u wont. this time i m serious too.

Sorry boss cant manage before 5 pm, I have pm ed my no. to sabertooth, pls let me know any of u guys' no. I would call when I reach there & join

^^plz make sure its not later than that, coz me hafta leave by 6

okay let me start then...S!D and I were the first to arrive on scene...edit...venue (ie.Just Linc shop)...then came the gr8 Choto Cheetah...three of us were chatting about lots of things and then obviously computers was the most important topic...S!D a.k.a Vicky is going to buy his computer here now that he has shifted to Kolkata from Gurgaon hence he seemed extremely excited taking information downloads from the ubergeek (Saurav) himself....

Gaurav as usual was the late-latif and everytime we called him he kept saying ten more minutes...and finally he made it at around 4pm...

Choto called up Anindya who had some engagement and couldnt come over...and Gaurav said that Soumya's called had been over by 2pm so he had to leave too..

The 3 of us kept waiting for Arya (Ayush) and even he was late...we warned him that if he didnt make it by the next 5mins then we will raid the MAC store...anyways that we did (and very much without him)...the macs are un-believeable...S!D,Gaurav & I have fallen for the MAC...but Choto would think that the product doesnt justify it's price...even that's true

Then along came Arya...he was so excited as he thought that he will lead us to the MAC store...then we showed him some pics that we had taken in the front of the store...he got a little upset but that didnt boil down his spirit...we followed him to the MAC store he gave us a seriously good demo of the IMAC...I'm convinced that the OS 10.5 is a real work of genius...(but I still think I wud use a PC for everyday use and use the MAC of imaging and surfing the net...provided if I buy one in the future...)

We left the MAC store and came down to CCD which had no seats...then we went to Hangout...bad-luck again....we finally sat in front of the fountain and then started a conversion which turned into a friendly fight over MAC and PC...anyway then everyone had to rush and hence our small meet ended in absolute fun...

We took a lot of pics which can only be uploaded once Vicky get's a comp with net connection...

However I apologise to Cyberzook...I had already left my house when you had p.m. ed me you number and could only see it when I returned home...

Sorry guys ..could not come...well had informed Gaurav before hand...
Better luck for me next time...

I understood that my PMs were a bit too late. I PMed Gaurav just after his reply to my post, but he had just gone offline. Though I realised that no way I could contact u guys, I still went to CC @5:30 with a friend & was there at the stairs but didn't notice gaurav/bobby(its so crowded on weekends!).
No probs guys just 1 request make the next meet a bit early, as I will be waiting most eagerly for the next one.

^^^^

Chuk Chuk Chuk...

we missed each other by whisker even at 5.30 we are at just beside the Water founten having laud chat !!!!

yes that was a messup somehow...anyways next time this will not be repeated as I now have your number...

^^Kya chal raha hai bhai log? Fill me in....

Sorry Guys, for the veeeery late reply...
We had all decided to write a few lines on the meet, but I guess the conversation has gone way past that.
Kya karre, I can only login frm the office , and monday ko chutti tha .

Anyways, I finally got my comp yesterday, and have given the PICs to bobby.
Lets hope he posts them soon.

*************************

A small correction..I guess Choto Cheeta was the one who arrived first.
When we had arrived, bobby had to rush to the mens room, so he didnt notice him.
Choto came up to me and asked if I was Vicky. I was taken aback, as he had never really seen me earlier. He told me he had been gone up to 5 guys before me, asking my name ..
At least now we all know how we look ...

When Arya(I have named him iMAC ) took us to the MAC store and walked us through the wonder world of the MACs, we were amazed and awestruck with what all we miss out on Windows. I was kinda havin an inferiority complex being a PC user . But then again, those sexy babes(read MACS) come with a price tag I cant afford..
And throughout the time we were in that store, we felt as if we were in Pakistan (beyond enemy lines for PC users)
Infact we left Choto alone in Pakistan for a good ten mins while he got lost staring at a 20.1" babe.
When we finally returned, the lost soldier was desperately looking for his allies who had left him alone in enemy territory .
***********************
The MAC OS overview(courtesy: Arya) had actually left us drooling and hungry, so moved to CCD for some grub.

hey hey hey...

Picture brother picture !!! ??? where are the snaps... ??

@S!D...Well said dude...

Post ur pics soon...or Bobby to put them up soon.

Hey not quite true... i was already out with all guns blazing

I cant use the office PC to upload the pics and Bobby took a copy of the pix yesterday evening. I'm pretty surprised he has not uploaded them yet!!
I just talked to him, and the idiot is watchin a movie on his comp and completely engrossed in it .
He said he'll post the pics tmrw mornin.
Now u guys fight wid him.

^^^I'm now at my office too..so cant post the pics now...will post them as soon as I return home...but whatever happened to Arya...can somebody call him...he didnt post since the meet...he had also taken a few pics...

I'd only taken one and it turned out to be crap. I knew that backlit scene would be a problem.

^^^ I guess you were supposed to post your feedback on the meet...wat happened to you...why did you go out of the scene...

I was, and still am, very busy. Sorry, guys!

And in any case, you guys' summary was as good as any so what is the whole point. But I will try to write something up and post it in a day or two. Sorry, sorry, sorry...

well,here are the pics:- (reduced the resolution to 1280x1024)

Hey where is the other pics ?? there were quite a few I guess why posting only one

There was a total of 6 pics..
and the pic I took in front of the city center hoarding looks abs-fabs.
--------------------------
@bobby,
All the pics might be an overload on this screen.
I'd suggest upload the pics onto picasa.
Then post the link to the album here.
That way we'll have a common place to store photos even for future meets and events.
I'm sorry I'm offloading it to u, but as u know, it'd be sometime b4 I have the net connection at home.
Lemme know wat u think..

^^^ I'm just posting urls from imageshack so they wont overload the page..moreover I've reduced the resolution of the pics from 2816 x 2112 to 1280 x 1024 so that they fit any 19" screen...

Dude..can u chill for a moment!!
no one's fighting here, i'was just a small joke between me and Arya .

It was said, understood and ended there. no one's carrying a grudge here.

Although, Shantanu; if u r reading this; I think sabret00the might turn out to be a good mod. He's showin all the qualities already.

Once again, peace guys.. no offence meant and none taken, so lets not discuss this any further.
